Comments: I was hesitant at swapping the pups in this guitar, as she was completely stock and I didn't want to mess with the value of this baby, but I'm glad I did! I've only owned one other P90 guitar before and that was a Hamer with Duncan's in it. The Duncan's were very bassy and muddy. The Wolfe's are the complete opposite! Very nice high's, sweet mid's and nice low's. It cover's the gamut of frequencies very well and the neck is beautifully creamy! This pup covers a wide range of musical flavor's incredibly well! I've found everything I need in a P90 pup with these Wolfetone's! As a added bonus, this guitar now also look's like a 1956 Les Paul!
